BOULDER CREEK, Calif. — A blind dog that was lost in the thick woods and steep terrain of the Santa Cruz mountains was missing for more than a week before she was found.

The 12-year-old Labrador named Sage had been missing for 8 days. That person owner Beth Cole says the family mistakenly thought she had been brought into the house. About an hour later, they realized she was outside and gone. Stories of Sage’s disappearance soon spread on social media. Members of the community searched high and low for Sage, and a professional dog tracker was hired with no luck.

Sage has been getting plenty of TLC since the person rescue. A neighbor even cooked a steak for her.
